The R35 GT-R’s rear-mounted transaxle keeps the car closer to 50/50 than its all-wheel-drive weight would suggest, but that doesn’t change the fact you’re managing the best part of 1,800kg through a corner, with ATTESA E-TS constantly shuffling torque between axles under load. Standard dampers were tuned for comfort first, which leaves the chassis softer than the drivetrain deserves the moment you start using the car the way it was designed to be used.
The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover is built for exactly this pairing: a GT-R owner who wants sharper body control for occasional track days without turning the car into something you dread driving to the circuit and back. It raises spring rate and damping over the standard setup while keeping the ride manageable enough for daily use.
What this coilover does for your 2007-2026 Nissan SKYLINE R35 GTR 4WD
Lifting spring rate and damping force by roughly 30-50% over a street setting gives the R35’s chassis more resistance to the weight transfer that comes with launch control starts and hard trail-braking into a corner – the moments where a stock GT-R’s suspension starts to feel out of its depth. The firmer control keeps the nose settled as ATTESA redistributes drive to the front axle, so the car turns in with less of the wallow that softer dampers allow. Larger surface imperfections and expansion joints on a fast road are absorbed rather than transmitted straight into the chassis, which matters on a car this heavy – an uncontrolled rebound off a bump mid-corner is exactly when you lose the traction the 4WD system is trying to give you. The net result is a GT-R that turns, brakes and puts power down with less unwanted movement, on track and on the road in.
About the Top Sport coilover
The Top Sport line is set up around the higher spring rates and damping XYZ Racing runs in its own track day and fast-road testing rather than a street-comfort baseline. Rates sit around 30-50% firmer than a standard street coilover, which is enough to control a car the size and weight of the GT-R without tipping into a setup that only makes sense on slicks. The extra force is there specifically to catch the bigger hits – potholes, kerbs, mid-corner ripples – and stop them unsettling the body before it costs you traction. That control also translates into better contact patch management, so the tyres stay loaded evenly through a corner instead of skipping over disturbances. It’s a kit aimed squarely at drivers who use their car hard on a circuit some weekends and still want it liveable the rest of the time, rather than a full race-only setup.
